Poll: Pottermore

[Seanfall]

wtf is pottermore? Yes I assumed it had something to do with Harry Potter but what else? I picked Ravenclaw. I'm not brave enough for Gryffindor or slimy enough for Slytherin. And...If I was a hufflepuff I'd throw myself out a 4th story window and troll around with the Bloody Baron.

"The website, according to Rowling, will serve as a permanent online home for the wizarding world of Harry Potter.
The site features many of Rowling's notes, several pages of text that were not included in the novels, a service that will sell e-book and audiobook versions of the seven Harry Potter novels, as well as over 18,000 words of additional content. The additional content will include a large number of background details and settings." - wikipedia

Also, I assure you, I am not slimy.

I got placed into Slytherin. I was hoping for Ravenclaw, but oh well. I'm very happy with my wand though. Alder, Dragon heartstring, Unyielding, 11 and a half inches.

I was going for Ravenclaw, giving every answer as Ravenclawy as possible, but instead I got to choose from Hufflepuff, Gryffindor or Slytherin.

Wtf?

My username is FangGold25657. I'm in Ravenclaw. Wand is chestnut, phoenix feather, hard, 10 [sup]3[/sup]/[sub]4[/sub] inches. I consider myself well-satisfied.

I couldn't put up with it long enough to find out. The minute I clicked on something in chapter 1 I closed the window. Thank goodness I signed up with my spam e-mail account so I don't have to worry about going back and trying to undo sign-up.

Props to people who enjoy it - I'm not hating on it, it just didn't rub me the right way.

I'm bummed for you. Also. I love your avatar, haha.

I'm getting the strange feeling that there should be a Pottermore group, where the escapist can keep track of usernames.

Better yet, they should just link it to Facebook. That way I can click the add friends button and be done with it.

That would be way too convenient. I wish Pottermore had circles like google+ (does anyone remember that?) so I could put all the escapists in a group...

Looks like Ravenclaw is the least numerous house in Pottermore, but we're still in second place for the House Cup. Excellent. Figures that we'd be losing to Slytherin, though...

puff and proud. honey badger don't give a shit.

since its free, i'm satisfied with what i got, but i hope they expand more on classes and whatnot. dueling is too easy and potions take forever.

 

[Whitewillow]

Did anybody get a toad? Or did we all go with cats and owls?

Ugh I'm complete garbage at dueling. And potions is buggy as fuck on my stupid macbook single button click thing. You can definitely tell they're going to add tons of stuff in the future though; it's only in beta right meow.

Out of my 13 friends, one of them has a toad. Everyone else is equally split between cats and owls.

Ravenclaw prides itself on accepting all sorts, so of course I'd never mock anyone who brought a toad. I would, however, be intensely curious about their choice. I went with a barn owl, myself.

 

[draconiansundae]

Holy crap. So many Ravenclaws here on the escapist.

 

[Mayhaps]

Named: GalleonElm8569... Being named money-tree, how fantastic! Nobody can make jokes about my name now!
Got placed in Ravenclaw.
11 1/4 Unyielding wand in Sycamore, core: Unicorn, a really tiny one I suppose.

I Read he first book along side this to see how well it goes, i have to say was very, VERY impressed, Not good for a first read since it breaks up the flow a lot but it does add quite alot, my 25 year old self thought it was very good, my 12 year old self would have shit bricks.

 

[Raven's Nest]

Gryffindor here, holly with dragon heart-string, 14 and a half inches and supple... Beast of a wand apparently.

I had reach...

I picked a toad because I'm a biology student who thinks that weird animals like them are cute, and I had an inkling that most people would go for a cat/owl. Plus in five years time when toads are all the rage I can put on my hipster glasses "I liked toads before they were mainstream" ;-)

OT: Got the e-mail allowing me in this morning, ended up getting sorted into Hufflepuff which was a little disappointing since it's always struck me as an "...and the rest" type house for anyone who doesn't meet the criteria for the other houses, though I guess I'm quite a moderate person which was reflected in my answers.
